I’ve lived in St. Louis my entire life, so maybe I can help.

The area that Wash U is in (mainly the Clayton/Forest Park area) matches your description perfectly. The Loop and especially Forest Park are great. While St. Louis isn’t quite as large or populated as, say, Seattle, there is the same vibe that you describe. The Wash U area is one of the best in St. Louis, especially for college students, in my opinion. The main drawback of St. Louis is that, while the temperature is never as high as other places in the country, it can get extremely MUGGY in the summer. Humid air that is hard to breathe type thing (any St. Louisan will tell you the same). Any specific questions, please ask.
